Scholarships for Girls

252.JPGDiscrimination against the girl child is often more wide-spread in families affected by poverty. To tackle this issue, Chirag started the Scholarship Program for the girls belonging to very poor or non-supported families. These girls are chosen by the school teachers, Gram Panchayat and others at the village level strictly on socio-economic and intelligence criteria.

Chirag supports girls with their education from the 6th to the 12th class and also provides them with all other facilities for their education and all-round growth like vocational training, personality development, stationery, library facilities etc.

There are currently 123 girls from Reetha, Kasiyalekh, Suyalbari, Dewaldhar and Naukuchiyatal who are part of this program.
